And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32 NKJV).
All the devotional writings that are written in this book were given to me from God to write for every person who needs to read them. I truly believe with all my heart that every single word that God gave me to write was given to me to help, inspire, direct, guide, lead, and strengthen people who are facing difficult situations and to serve a specific purpose in their life.
In my devotional writings, I might say things that a lot of people dont agree with, or I might say a lot of things that people dont like. But the fact of the matter is that every single word I write is given to me by God, not because people want to hear it but because people need to hear it. The truth of Gods Word is undeniable in every way, and only the truth of Gods Word will set you free in the end. So those who want everything sugarcoated to their satisfaction and according to their standards will keep them in denying the truth. As most of you know, I dont sugarcoat anything, and I dont tell people what they want to hear. I tell people what they need to hear based on the words God has given me. Is it easy to tell people what they dont want to hear? Of course not, but when God commands me to write the words he gives me, I must obey him regardless if people are going to like it or not. The truth and only the truth of Gods words will set you free in the end.
The devotionals that I write are 70 percent scripture context, 30 percent practical context, and 100 percent inspired by God. They are easy to relate to because a lot people are often dealing with tough circumstances or going through difficult situations. Its often difficult to interpret and understand the actual meaning of a particular Bible verse. Each devotional that I write includes a Bible verse and a prayer. The Bible verse directly correlates with the devotional so that people can relate to the Bible verse and understand it. The prayer also directly relates to the devotional so that people can say the prayer and ask God for help.
I believe that Daily Guidance from God is a great tool that will help people better understand real-life issues they are facing and how God can help them. The devotional will help guide people in a positive and biblical way to seek God. The purpose of Daily Guidance from God is to allow his guidance and direction to help people through their difficult circumstances and situations and to lead them down the correct path.
When you allow God to be the center of your life, amazing things will happen that you will not even be able to imagine. Everyone has good days and bad days, but if you look to God for guidance in every situation you face, he will help you and guide you to make the right choices and decisions. I invite you to use this devotional to start your day with the positive words from God. I promise that when you read this devotional when you wake up, every day of your life will be brighter and your attitude will be more positive. My writings each day include three parts: a Bible verse, a devotional, and a prayer.
Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart (Proverbs 7:3 NKJV).
God put me on this earth on Friday, May 11th, 1973 to serve a specific purpose according to His will for my life. I was born and raised in Bay City, Michigan. I have three children, Zackary Wilkerson, Breann Ward, and Libby Winchell. I also have two grandsons, Jayden Ward, and Zain Wilkerson.
I knew at a very early age that I was a Christian and that God was a huge part of my life. I have always felt that God had plans for my life to do his work, no matter if it was praying for people, helping others learn who God is and what He can do if you believe in Him, or writing inspirational words that God gives me.
I was not put on this earth to impress or prove anything to anyone, I am here to honor, love and serve God daily by spreading the Good News to all nations and to make disciples of those who are lost and hopeless. It is my life mission to help those who are lost find God, to reach and teach the unreached about the Gospel of Christ, and to help the unsaved get saved in Gods mercy and grace through His Son Jesus Christ.
My definition of a Christian leader is someone who can effectively encourage, inspire, motivate, and influence others to live their life for God in a positive, grateful, and respectful way every day.
I strive to be this type of Christian leader every day of my life. I live my life for God and doing His work is part of my daily goals. In order to truly live my life for God means obeying His every command no matter if it is difficult or unpopular. Its my life long goal to bring as many people who are lost and hopeless to know Jesus Christ on an intimate level. I want to encourage those who have lost hope, I want to inspire those who have lost sight of Gods light, and I want to motivate those who are down and feel as if there is no where to turn. I want to be the reason someone gave their life to Christ, I want to be the reason someone did not give up, and I want to be the reason someone knows that they are never alone. I will continue living for God so that I can be a beacon of light for those who are stuck in the darkness. I will never give up, I will never stop spreading Gods word and I will never stop bringing hope to the hopeless because God has never given up on me.
On Friday, February 20th, 2016, God spoke to me and put it on my heart that He needed me to do something for Him. He told me that He needed me to do more of His work, something that would allow me to help more people to read and learn the Word of God and to help others get to know God on a daily basis. He wanted me to create a book of daily devotions that would allow me to share His word with people every single day, morning & night. That is when the Daily Guidance from God Devotional first came into existence. From that day, the devotional came together perfectly as I knew God was orchestrating and facilitating every step of the way for me. He has given me every verse, every word and every prayer to write 365 devotionals, and I had the cover, and the setup of the book together in a very short time. In October of 2016 my book became a real part of my life when I took the step to finalize my book and have it published and printed at Westbow Press a division of Zondervan & Thomas Nelson.
Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart.
